  I am a bit concerned about my gravitation to the game 'Casualties: Unknown'. A lot of it's really miserable, yet I cling right back to it, in an addiction that I don't fully understand. I was first playing it nightly from my Steam Deck, which was even more of a challenge (could only reasonably progress as 'Relaxed' tier; while 'Normal' is only progressable on desktop).

  I do not like them, Sam-I-Am. I do not like green eggs and ham. I could not, would not, on a boat. I will not, will not, with a goat. I will not eat them in the rain. Not in the dark! Not in a tree! Not in a car! You let me be! I do not like them in a box. I do not like them with a fox. I will not eat them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere! I do not like green eggs and ham! I do not like them, Sam-I-Am. </shitpost&a...

  https://arcanican.is/blog/2026/no-fun.php Had a stream of thought that I needed to get written down, as presented above. Just expressing a mix of thoughts I've had in recent years, and not to seek out sympathy or anything. I'm sure there's some other folks involved in hobbies or communities that feel the same.

  Random thought: saw the mention of Isso, for a commenting system that can be used on static websites. Had the idea of something similar with ActivityPub instead, but then thought further of something where you could have something essentially proxy and transform content from a static website (given some URL pattern of which pages should be included/exempt, and where to extract content from). Ergo, you could have some blog or other personal website, that could even be static, while having some s...

  It should come as no surprise that when you try to dumb-down the responsibilities (and cheapen) an IT role, that you're only going to ensure retards are going to be running everything. The substantial scope of outages and data breaches in recent years should make it pretty self-evident, but I don't know if management types will ever learn anything.

  I guess I don't really know what I want anymore. Despite having all the simple necessities, as well as plenty of positive social interactions and other things lately (even much more social/active than I normally am), I still don't feel 'completeness'? For 'career', it gets draining at watching much of it being rotted out for exclusively overseas hiring, much of it being oversaturated by the MLM and 'get rich quick' types running i...

  Why do I have a feeling that: although the DEI consultancy gimmick is waning, that there'll be something to replace it next, such as a "vibes consultant" or something?

  I guess someone beat me to one of the pet projects I had in my pile (although probably far too literal of a recreation, I would have made some artistic liberties to make it distinct): https://www.process-one.net/blog/introducing-fluux-messenger-a-modern-xmpp-client-born-from-a-holiday-coding-session/ https://github.com/processone/fluux-messenger I'm sure OMEMO or other amenities will naturally follow, in time.

  @silverpill Possibly to your interest, if you haven't seen it already: https://autocrypt2.org Apparently only 25 pages long, with seemingly clear and specific steps and some code examples (at least in cursory skimming): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-autocrypt-openpgp-v2-cert/

  It's just so thoroughly, resoundingly demoralizing how normies keep taking the bait of centralized VC-funded platforms. Once one ship starts to sink, they crowd to the next one that appears on the horizon, like rats, just ever-continuing this cycle, and never learn. In the time that I've been on the internet, just to keep up with "where everyone's at", I've been on: ICQ, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, MSN/Live Messenger, Google Talk/Hangouts, Skype, Fac...

  I guess that's a random find today I hadn't known before: There's an argument for showing more succinct outputs to the ip commands, using the -brief argument; e.g. ip -br link or ip -br addr

  Oh my. I think I've just hit a new revelation for a software architecture that should be a lot more servicable, stateless, and more practical to host with just static files, and possibly still be able to do federation (through a second layer atop, for converting NDJSON streams and ID references, into standard ActivityPub objects/collections). I was working on a sideproject of a web-based yt-dlp frontend (and media platform), but may be able to 'kill two birds with one stone&...
